At some point in the past, you've used a process like https://web.archive.org/web/20241230212150/https://weber.fi.eu.org/blog/Informatique/ssh_access_to_a_buffalo_LS210_NAS.writeback/?lang=en along with https://buffalonas.miraheze.org/wiki/ACP_Commander (from https://github.com/1000001101000/acp-commander/tre

Got a https://thepihut.com/collections/latest-raspberry-pi-products/products/home-assistant-skyconnect and need to pass it through to your HA virtual machine ? The VM will be using lxc, because all the other ways are terrible.

All the advice on articles like https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/47080/mounting-iso-in-linux-kde don't work in modern KDE, or are about mounting .iso files, which is now built in, or a disk image as read only.

Recently I got around to playing with an Amstrad PPC I'd had for a while but not tried to get running. I even had the thin version of the manual, ruck sack, power supply and half the system disks.
